Something Saturday - Watercolour Pencils on Black

-
Image
Hi there Creators Today I'm showing off how you can make the watercolour pencils really pop on a black background. when you use them this way you don't add water or anything else, just simply use them as pencils. This is the first card I made before the video: I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite (see links below) for both of these cards Then I made this one up in the video, and finished it off after, by adding some greenery around the bottom, the sayings and I wanted to create a graduated background paper to kind of give a sunset appearance, so to to that I've brushed darker colours onto the Pumpkin Pie cardstock to deepen it nearer the bottom. Here is a list of the products I used: Celebratory Sips Collection (I recommend getting the whole lot 'cos it's worth it!) but if you don't want it all, then, then in fact the only part I used here is: Cheers & Sips Stamp set Watercolour Pencils Assortment 1 Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 If you missed the vid...

Sneak Peek time again :)

Hi Everyone,
thought I'd show you a couple more cards I've been having a go at with my new stamp sets from the upcoming 2017/18 Annual Catalogue. Oh, before I forget, please could someone try and comment on my blog, as nobody has for ages, and I'm a bit concerned that I've locked something!

First up this card uses the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Colourful Seasons Stamp Set and the matching Colour Theory Designer Series Paper - love these snowflake dies (so delicate) Oh and the branch is a die too!

 Next is this card, again using the Colourful Seasons Stamp set, and there's a new set of 3 word dies, "Lovely Words" obviously this one is "friend" lol!
Ok, what else do I have to show you? Oh yes this one, isn't it sweet? how cute are the little birds? Its one of the new hostess stamp sets (Feathery Friends) and I've used all the new colours Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, and Fresh fig (also with a bit of Peekaboo Peach and Sweet sugarplum😉
And lastly I was playing around with doing magic slider cards, as I thought it would make a fun card to teach at Bendigo Craft Alive (which incidentally the dates are Friday 16th to Sunday 18th June)  I won't be teaching this particular slider card, as I have a better (in my opinion) one! this one uses Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper.

I do have a son (Samuel) who loves dinosaurs, so I thought he'd enjoy seeing this one! having said that I've just realised that I haven't finished off the top!  oops, probably as I'm waiting to order a specific punch to use, but I can't order it till the 1st June (Oh the wait!!)

Ok well that's it for now, I'd best be off to bed!  Hope this inspires you to have a go, and someone/anyone!  please comment below to prove that I can have comments on my blog 😀

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
